Easily WOTN with a great showing despite slight bottle variation. Fully resolved in all respect, wafting pipe tobacco keeled this baby from nose to back of palate. Bright cherry, tar and tea notes, blackberry and smoke poking through on the entry. Drink ‘em if you got ‘em. — 17 days ago

@LM Segal Interesting to see your comment “Drink ‘em if you got ‘em “. I had a bottle in August 2020 and said I would have my last bottle in the next few years. There was pushback from several tasters that I was drinking them too young and that this was at least a 30 year wine. Jancis had said to 2024. I’ll probably have my next bottle some time later this year. Thanks for the note.

Thanks, Bob. 23 years and there’s bound to be bottle variability…storage, shipping, aeration…to my palate with some air these were at an apogee, but 1 bottle (purchased here in Canada) was a tad more evolved than the other (purchased in CA and shipped 10 yrs ago). They both went to fast to see if they would fall apart but 3 Bordeaux vets at the table all thought they were peaking but not downsloping - yet. Cheers!

Severn Goodwin

Great notes, thanks both.

2020 vintage. This estate has improved immensely over the last decade. The 2020 is a blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon and 28% Merlot. Stylistically, it is completely different from the outstanding very Pauillac-like 2019, as it is a lighter, more fluid and charming wine that is drinking already amazingly well. It has great balance with bright fruit, well-integrated oak, the telltale freshness of the vintage and very good length. However, it doesn't have the depth and power of the 2019. Very good value. Abv. 13,5%. — a month ago

Dark ruby, garnet. Abundant nose of black, cherry and soft cranberry. Medium, full palate, echoes the nose adding a slight hint of graphite. Medium acidity, medium tannins, medium long finish. The third label of HBL is an excellent left bank from a classic vintage at a great price. Drink now through 2028. — 4 months ago

Solid wine, good price point at under $20.

The earthiness (dense rich soil) is a bit forward, not ness bad but pronounced and in a “I do not know this terroir” category (a reason I love wine).

Id give it a year, and pair it with hearty fare like pot roast or barbacoa.

Classic Bordeaux… ripe cherry, pencil lead, a bit of cedar and a touch of old leather when open and decanted for an hour. A beautiful wine with an initial acidic finish… but mellowed out with air and some time in the decanter. Fully mature… and this bottle Slightly oxidized at the edges… but no drop off in intensity. A few years left, but drinking well now. — 2 months ago
